RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.62/195,648, filed on Jul. 22, 2015 and 62/335,227, filed on May 12,2016. The entire teachings of the above applications are incorporatedherein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to compounds and pharmaceuticalcompositions useful as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) inhibitors.Specifically, the present invention relates to benzodiazepinederivatives that can inhibit RSV activities and for treating RSVinfection.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a negative-sense, singlestranded, RNA paramyxovirus (KM. Empey, et al., Rev. Anti-InfectiveAgents, 2010, 50(1 May), 1258-1267). RSV is the leading cause of acutelower respiratory tract infections (ALRI) and affects patients of allages. The symptoms in adults are usually not severe and are typicallyanalogous to a mild cold. However, in infants and toddlers the virus cancause lower respiratory tract infections including bronchiolitis orpneumonia with many of them requiring hospitalization. Nearly allchildren have been infected by age 3. There are known high-risk groupsthat infection with RSV is more likely to progress into the ALRI.Premature infants and/or infants suffering from lung or cardiac diseaseare at the highest risk to develop ALRI. Additional high-risk groupsinclude the elderly, adults with chronic heart and/or lung disease, stemcell transplant patients and the immunosuppressed.

Currently, there is no vaccine available to prevent HRSV infection.Palivizumab is a monoclonal antibody that is used prophylactically toprevent HRSV infection in high risk infants, e.g. premature infants, andinfants with cardiac and/or lung disease. The high cost of palivizumabtreatment limits its use for general purposes. Ribavirin has also beenused to treat HRSV infections but its effectiveness is limited. There isa major medical need for new and effective HRSV treatments that can beused generally by all population types and ages.

There have been several RSV fusion inhibitors that have been disclosedin the following publications: WO2010/103306, WO2012/068622,WO2013/096681, WO2014/060411, WO2013/186995, WO2013/186334, WO2013/186332, WO 2012 080451, WO 2012/080450, WO2012/080449, WO2012/080447, WO 2012/080446, and J. Med. Chem. 2015, 58, 1630-1643.Examples of other N-protein inhibitors for treatment of HRSV have beendisclosed in the following publications: WO 2004/026843, J. Med. Chem.2006, 49, 2311-2319, and J. Med. Chem. 2007, 50, 1685-1692. Examples ofL-protein inhibitors for HRSV have been disclosed in the followingpublications: WO 2011/005842, WO 2005/042530, Antiviral Res. 2005, 65,125-131, and Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2013, 23, 6789-6793. Examples ofnucleosides/polymerase inhibitors have been disclosed in the followingpublications: WO 2013/242525 and J. Med. Chem. 2015, 58, 1862-1878.

There is a need for the development of effective treatments for HRSV.The present invention has identified compounds that are aminoheteroarylsubstituted benzodiazepines, and inhibit HRSV. The invention includesmethods to prepare the compounds as well as methods of using thesecompounds to treat disease.

Freehydroxy groups may be derivatized using groups including but not limitedto hemisuccinates, ethyl succinate, phosphate esters,dimethylaminoacetates, and phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyls, as outlinedin Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 1996, 19, 115. Carbamate prodrugs ofhydroxy and amino groups are also included, as are carbonate prodrugs,sulfonate esters and sulfate esters of hydroxy groups. Derivatization ofhydroxy groups as (acyloxy)methyl and (acyloxy)ethyl ethers wherein theacyl group may be an alkyl ester, optionally substituted with groupsincluding but not limited to ether, amine and carboxylic acidfunctionalities, or where the acyl group is an amino acid ester asdescribed above, are also encompassed. Prodrugs of this type aredescribed in J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 10. Free amines can also bederivatized as amides, sulfonamides or phosphonamides. All of theseprodrug moieties may incorporate groups including but not limited toether, amine and carboxylic acid functionalities. In certainembodiments, a compound of the invention can incorporate two or moregroups that are metabolically removed in vivo to yield the active parentcompound. For example, a compound of formula I wherein R₁ is an aminoacid residue can also be esterified, for example at a hydroxyl group ofthe sugar residue, to form a compound with two groups that can beremoved in vivo to yield the active compound.

The term “treating”, as used herein, means relieving, lessening,reducing, eliminating, modulating, or ameliorating, i.e. causingregression of the disease state or condition. Treating can also includeinhibiting, i.e. arresting the development, of a existing disease stateor condition, and relieving or ameliorating, i.e. causing regression ofan existing disease state or condition, for example when the diseasestate or condition may already be present.

The term “preventing”, as used herein means, to completely or almostcompletely stop a disease state or condition, from occurring in apatient or subject, especially when the patient or subject ispredisposed to such or at risk of contracting a disease state orcondition.

Additionally, the compounds of the present invention, including thesalts of the compounds, can exist in either hydrated or unhydrated (theanhydrous) form or as solvates with other solvent molecules. Nonlimitingexamples of hydrates include monohydrates, dihydrates, etc. Nonlimitingexamples of solvates include ethanol solvates, acetone solvates, etc.

“Solvates” means solvent addition forms that contain eitherstoichiometric or non stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compoundshave a tendency to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in thecrystalline solid state, thus forming a solvate. If the solvent is waterthe solvate formed is a hydrate, when the solvent is alcohol, thesolvate formed is an alcoholate. Hydrates are formed by the combinationof one or more molecules of water with one of the substances in whichthe water retains its molecular state as H₂O, such combination beingable to form one or more hydrate.

As used herein, the term “analog” refers to a chemical compound that isstructurally similar to another but differs slightly in composition (asin the replacement of one atom by an atom of a different element or inthe presence of a particular functional group, or the replacement of onefunctional group by another functional group). Thus, an analog is acompound that is similar to or comparable in function and appearance tothe reference compound.

The term “aprotic solvent,” as used herein, refers to a solvent that isrelatively inert to proton activity, i.e., not acting as a proton-donor.Examples include, but are not limited to, hydrocarbons, such as hexaneand toluene, for example, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as, forexample, methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, chloroform, and thelike, heterocyclic compounds, such as, for example, tetrahydrofuran andN-methylpyrrolidinone, and ethers such as diethyl ether,bis-methoxymethyl ether. Such solvents are well known to those skilledin the art, and individual solvents or mixtures thereof may be preferredfor specific compounds and reaction conditions, depending upon suchfactors as the solubility of reagents, reactivity of reagents andpreferred temperature ranges, for example. Further discussions ofaprotic solvents may be found in organic chemistry textbooks or inspecialized monographs, for example: Organic Solvents PhysicalProperties and Methods of Purification, 4th ed., edited by John A.Riddick et al., Vol. II, in the Techniques of Chemistry Series, JohnWiley & Sons, N Y, 1986.

The terms “protogenic organic solvent” or “protic solvent” as usedherein, refer to a solvent that tends to provide protons, such as analcohol, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol,t-butanol, and the like. Such solvents are well known to those skilledin the art, and individual solvents or mixtures thereof may be preferredfor specific compounds and reaction conditions, depending upon suchfactors as the solubility of reagents, reactivity of reagents andpreferred temperature ranges, for example. Further discussions ofprotogenic solvents may be found in organic chemistry textbooks or inspecialized monographs, for example: Organic Solvents PhysicalProperties and Methods of Purification, 4th ed., edited by John A.Riddick et al., Vol. II, in the Techniques of Chemistry Series, JohnWiley & Sons, N Y, 1986.

Combinations of substituents and variables envisioned by this inventionare only those that result in the formation of stable compounds. Theterm “stable”, as used herein, refers to compounds which possessstability sufficient to allow manufacture and which maintains theintegrity of the compound for a sufficient period of time to be usefulfor the purposes detailed herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylacticadministration to a subject).

Someexamples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptablecarriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches suchas corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such assodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate;powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoabutter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil;safflower oil; sesame oil; olive oil; corn oil and soybean oil; glycols;such a propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate;agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminumhydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer'ssolution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well asother non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate andmagnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents,coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents,preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition,according to the judgment of the formulator. The pharmaceuticalcompositions of this invention can be administered to humans and otheranimals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally,intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments,or drops), buccally, or as an oral or nasal spray.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be administeredorally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally,buccally, vaginally or via an implanted reservoir, preferably by oraladministration or administration by injection. The pharmaceuticalcompositions of this invention may contain any conventional non-toxicpharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, adjuvants or vehicles.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, byfiltration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporatingsterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which canbe dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectablemedium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slowthe absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension ofcrystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rateof absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution,which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form.Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drugform is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oilvehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulematrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such aspolylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymerand the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drugrelease can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymersinclude poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectableformulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes ormicroemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferablysuppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of thisinvention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such ascocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solidat ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore meltin the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Assays Methods for RSV-A Assay

HEp-2 cells, (originally derived from tumors grown inirradiated-cortisonised weanling rats that had been injected withepidermoid carcinoma tissue from a 56 year old male's larynx, but laterfound to be indistinguishable from HeLa cells by PCR DNA analysis), wereused for the culturing of genotype A, “Long” strain RSV. Flasks wereinoculated with RSV and viral stocks were collected once cytopathiceffect (CPE) was greater than 90%. Viral stocks in 25% sucrose mediawere snap frozen using liquid nitrogen to increase viral stability.Viral stock titers were quantified by tissue culture infectious dose 50%(TCID₅₀) using 8,000 cells per well and 3-fold viral dilutions across a96-well plate, cultured for 4 days. Viral stock titers were alsoquantified by a plaque forming unit assay, as described elsewhere.

Following extensive parameter testing, the final assay is run asfollows: HEp-2 cells are seeded into the inner 60 wells of a 96-wellplate at 8,000 cells per well in a volume of 50 μL using Growth Media(DMEM without phenol red, 1% L-Glut, 1% Penn/Strep, 1% nonessentialamino acids, 10% heat-inactivated FBS). 2-fold serial dilutions ofcontrol and test compounds are added to the wells in duplicate in atotal volume of 25 μL. Viral stock is then added to the wells at amultiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 in a volume of 25 μL, bringingthe total volume of each well to 100 μL. The MOI is calculated using thePFU/mL, or TCID₅₀ if unavailable. Each 96-well plate has a controlcolumn of 6 wells with cells and virus but no compound (negativecontrol, max CPE), a column with cells but no compound or virus(positive control, minimum CPE), and a column with no cells or virus orcompound (background plate/reagent control). The control wells withcells but no virus are given an additional 25 μL of growth mediacontaining an equal quantity of sucrose as those wells receiving theviral stock in order to keep consistent in media and volume conditions.The outer wells of the plate are filled with 125 μL of moat media (DMEM,1% Penn/Strep) to act as a thermal and evaporative moat around the testwells. Following a 5-day incubation period, the plates are read usingATPlite (50 μL added per well), which quantifies the amount of ATP (ameasure of cell health) present in each well. Assay plates are readusing the Envision luminometer. In parallel, cytotoxicity is examined onan additional 96-well plate treated in an identical manner, butsubstituting the 25 μL of viral stock for 25 μL of growth media. Thesedata are used to calculate the EC₅₀ and CC₅₀ of each compound (Table 2).EC₅₀ ranges are as follows: A<0.4 μM; B 0.4-0.8 μM; C>0.8 μM and CC₅₀ranges are as follows: A>50 μM; B 10-50 μM; C<10 μM.

Methods for RSV-B Assay

HEp-2 cells, (originally derived from tumors grown inirradiated-cortisonised weanling rats that had been injected withepidermoid carcinoma tissue from a 56 year old male's larynx, but laterfound to be indistinguishable from HeLa cells by PCR DNA analysis), wereused for the culturing of genotype B, strain 9320. Flasks wereinoculated with RSV-B and viral stocks were collected once cytopathiceffect (CPE) was greater than 90%. Viral stocks in 25% sucrose mediawere snap frozen using liquid nitrogen to increase viral stability.Viral stock titers were quantified by tissue culture infectious dose 50%(TCID₅₀) using 8,000 cells per well and 5-fold viral dilutions across a96-well plate, cultured for 4 days. Viral stock titers were alsoquantified by a plaque forming unit assay, as described elsewhere.

The assay is run as follows: A549 cells (originally derived throughexplant culture from a 58 year old male's carcinomatous lung tissue) areseeded into the inner 60 wells of a 96-well plate at 3,000 cells perwell in a volume of 50 μL using A549 growth media (F-12K Media, 1%Penn/Strep, 1% nonessential amino acids, 10% heat-inactivated FBS).2-fold serial dilutions of control and test compounds are added to thewells in duplicate in a total volume of 25 μL. Viral stock is then addedto the wells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.5 in a volume of25 μL, bringing the total volume of each well to 100 μL. The MOI iscalculated using the PFU/mL, or TCID50 if unavailable. Each 96-wellplate has a control column of 6 wells with cells and virus but nocompound (negative control, max CPE), a column with cells but nocompound or virus (positive control, minimum CPE), and a column with nocells or virus or compound (background plate/reagent control). Thecontrol wells with cells but no virus are given an additional 25 uL ofgrowth media containing an equal quantity of sucrose as those wellsreceiving the viral stock in order to keep consistent in media andvolume conditions. The outer wells of the plate are filled with 125 μLof moat media (DMEM, 1% Penn/Strep) to act as a thermal and evaporativemoat around the test wells. 6 days post infection, the plates are readusing qPCR or ATP lite (50 uL added per well), which quantifies theamount of ATP (a measure of cell health) present in each well. Assayplates treated with APTlite are read using the Envision luminometer.These data are used to calculate the EC₅₀ of each compound (Table 3).EC₅₀ ranges are as follows: A<0.4 μM; B 0.4-0.8 μM; C>0.8 μM.
